Far too good the Swans.
Very impressive up forward and, as is per usual, their conversion rate is extraordinary. An 11 goal win despite only having 5 more scoring shots! I think Goodes (long one of my favourite players) is back to his Brownlow winning best, and players like Fosdike (scarcely spoken of) show how good a team structure they have.
Everitt was very, very ordinary around the traps last night, but still comfortably won the hitouts. I'm thinking Sydney would pretty much be a flag shoo-in right now had they managed to snare the big Spida during the past trade period.
When your side only has a handful of genuine contributers on the night, I think the less said the better.
I will, however, wrap Jordan Lewis who became one of the painfully few teeenagers to snare 30 possessions in an AFL match (I know Judd did it, also aged 19, in 2003, but that's all I can think of for quite a good many years) and did so while leading the match for contested possessions and inside-50s. His effective possession rate was also high.
I've been wanting the panel to play him in the centre for a whole match from the start for sometime now. Given another full preseason of heavy fitness work, will be a boom player in the middle.
Pity Crawford & Mitchell chose last night to put in shockers, leaving the kid to basically go it alone.
We were upm in standing room too
